The biggest source of new residents to Florida and Texas, the two U.S. states with the largest number of new residents last year, was other countries.According to migration data released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau, a little over 45% of the almost 634,000 residents in Florida who said that they had lived in a different state or abroad the previous year came from a foreign country.With 23 million residents, Florida had more people who said they had lived in a different place the previous year than any other state, though Texas wasnt far behind. Of the almost 612,000 Texas residents living elsewhere the previous year, 43% were from another country. Texas has 30.5 million residents.The migration figures don't show which countries the new residents arrived from.Priscila Coronado moved to Miami from Guatemala last year, looking for a better future.I am happy.
